Kazuaki Tanahashi is a renowned calligraphic artist and teacher
who works with hundreds of students throughout the world
each year. In this online workshop, you can study with him up
close, as he guides you in exploring the wondrous world of brush
calligraphy.
In each of the eight workshop sessions, Kaz will guide you in
making samples from an ancient Chinese masterpiece. He will
demonstrate the character himself and then comment on the
work of several of his calligraphy friends to help you deepen your
understanding. He ends each session with homework designed
to help you cultivate your own calligraphy practice.
You don’t need to have any previous experience with calligraphy
or know any East Asian language to take this course. It takes
years of practice to be a good calligrapher, but in this workshop,
through Kaz’s unique style of teaching, you will experience both
a beginning and, at the same time, an advanced study of East
Asian calligraphy.
Kazuaki Tanahashi’s work has been executed and exhibited throughout
the world. A peace teacher and environmentalist, he is also the editor of
several volumes of the writings of the Zen master Eihei Dogen, including
the definitive translation of the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye. His other
books include Brush Mind; Sky Above, Great Wind: The Life and Poetry of
Zen Master Ryokan; and The Heart Sutra: A Comprehensive Guide to the
Classic of Mahayana Buddhism.
